But no, it's just a tease for an opera about the star-crossed love between Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.* Seriously. Apparently.
WE GIVE YOU TIMBERBRIT. And in the event your curiosity hasn't been sated by the audiovisual masterpiece above, here's pretty much everything you need to know about it, courtesy of NPR:
It's a tragic tale that imagines Spears' last concert, in the final hours of her life. Timberlake returns after a long absence to win back Spears' love, but in the end she chooses the audience's love above all else.[Composer Jacob Cooper] began work on the opera by experimenting with a technique called time-stretching. Using digital audio software, he slowed down Spears' songs — and suddenly the light pop tunes seemed hauntingly tragic. Phrases like "Hit me baby one more time" took on an entirely different and more weighted meaning.

Geeze. That is hauntingly tragic. Though i stopped in the middle because it was getting odd.
Her final concert? yeah. But though I still don't understand this post.
Um, interesting idea, but don't think I can sit through the moaning. I love brit-brit but she moans enough at normal speed. to slow that down and add operatic crescendos would be to make a screeching cat stop in its tracks. One britney-related event i won't be buying tickets for.
